Now, everyone in the business knows that Punk still has ill feelings for WWE and its chairman, Vince McMahon. During the media scrum, Punk confessed that he is happy that AEW President, Tony Khan, has bought ROH. Punk also noted that he has no problem in Khan owning Punk’s ROH matches videos. However, he also added in the end that Vince McMahon owns quite a lot of Punk’s videos for which he is not getting paid.

Since this statement, the fans on the internet have polarized opinions on Punk’s dig at McMahon. Some fans advocate that Punk should move on and stop throwing dirt on WWE, while some fans think that Punk should absolutely bury WWE.
CM Punk divided the internet with his comments
One fan took to Twitter and hilariously wrote that when he will be 95 years old, then maybe Punk would stop throwing dirt on WWE.
Maybe when I’m 95 years old Punk will stop crying about Vince.
My man.. it’s been how many years? Give it up. You’ve done your thing here in AEW. Enough https://t.co/QgsqZXLrKg

One fan noted that it was WWE who made the ‘Best in the World’ a global superstar. The fan also wrote that the former WWE Champion got a chance to fight in UFC because of his popularity with WWE.
CM Punk had a great WWE run but it gets overshadowed by the negatives that happened. But you have to admit WWE made Punk a superstar. He even got to fight in the UFC with zero amateur experience because of credentials he made with the WWE.

One fan took a dig on the former WWE superstar by writing that Vince McMahon has not used any video of his. Furthermore, the fan added that WWE erased Punk as they did with Chris Benoit.
Punk, he has not used your footage. I haven't seen footage of you in a long time in WWE. They have Chris Benoit you.

Some fans really like it when Punk disses Vince McMahon and WWE.
Punk almost died working at WWE, if anybody has earned the right to bad mouth them, it’s him.

Punk had a great run in WWE back in the early 2010s. However, it was the backstage heat with WWE officials, especially with Vince McMahon and Triple H, that drove him out of the company.
